I just installed Beta and a Sbot worm was detected and
removed. Is it necessary to go to all sites and change
login and passwords?

Well, thats a hard question, to be 100% safe l/p
should be changed every month/quarter. For corporate
networks this is necessary to maintain safety.

There are a lot of Sbot worms out there and they are doing
different things. If you can see exactly name of this
pest its easier to give advice or you can check it
yourself.

If you have saved your l/p on your PC and have
sensitive/private information stored I would advice you
to change them. This can be Hotmail/Yahoo/AOL accounts
etc.

You must then follow this:
